Building self esteem

This was a losing weekend.   The football teams I was rooting for lost, Razorbacks lost and most of my fantasy football players had terrible games.  I did however move up from being in 220,000th place to be 160,000th place in the nation in the NFL fantasy playoff.  This losing can get a guy down.

Fortunately for me,  we have a Wii.  In twelve rounds I knock out 4 boxers.  The last rounds were tough.  I got knock down early in the third round,  but the Rocky theme started going through head and with renewed energy I fought back.  And finally with a crushing stomach shot, my opponent went down.  I immediately collapse from exhaustion and called out for Adriane.  I went to bed feeling better about myself and woke up a champion.

  1. I'm glad you are giving the world your two cents. I'll look forward to hearing what you have to say (since I'm not an alien and can appreciate it.)
    Dan could use a little practice boxing. He looks like Megan when he tries.
    My favorite high school teacher (history) had a list of books that he considered all kids should read. He gave them different point values. After a kid read one, he would take them for a walk on campus to discuss it. Then he would give them the point value as extra credit. You should try it. It got me reading different subjects when I was busy worrying about boys and clothes...
